Mary Lee - Jamie T

Whenever I look out the window, I see her leave

Whenever I sleep on the pillow, I hear her breathe

Whenever I look back, I can’t believe

What a stupid, drunk boy I was to let Mary leave

Trade blows with the foes, too young to grow

This skin just doesn’t fit me

Too many souls have lost their hold

On reality wearing these

So I took a pinch of my Ma, pinch of my Pa

And measured my own body

And now I got a suit of class made to last

Off a man off New Bond Street

La-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la

La-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la

We’re thick as thieves, hearts on sleeves

Searching for memories

Blowing off steam, just seventeen

Forgetting where we’ve been

So I took a tip from my Ma, tip from my Pa

And walked around my dreams

Found me in a car, driving far

Away from the places that I’ve seen

Whenever I look out the window, I see her leave

Whenever I sleep on the pillow, I hear her breathe

Whenever I look back, I can’t believe

What a stupid, drunk boy I was to let Mary leave

Mary Lee, Mary Lee
